Who
do you most admire and why?
There
are two people I currently admire, Misha Collins and Bo Burnham. I
admire both because they use their status in society to make a
difference in the world, whether it is directly or indirectly. For
example, Misha, who plays Castiel in Supernatural, tries
to get his "minions" or his fans to make random acts of
kindness and slowly change the world. In addition, there's Bo, a
musical comedian, who compose songs that calls out social issues
other artists are afraid to speak out against. He is able to make his
songs entertaining and funny which makes it more difficult for some
people to truly get his message because they don't try to understand
his lyrics, they just listen for the beat.
What's
one thing you wish everyone in the world understood?
It
is okay to be different. Our differences is what allows us to thrive
as a whole. One's weakness is another's strength. If everyone in the
world could understand this, we would probably have a better world.
Describe
an "average" teen. How are you different?
Honestly,
I don't think I'm in the position to describe the "average"
teenager. I don't think anyone is. My average is guaranteed to be
different from someone else's average. However, I do like this
question because I have always felt different from the average teen.
In my opinion, the average teen has a plethora of friends, some that
they don't even like. They go to parties/ hangout on weekends. They
skip classes, try drugs, and smoke. Basically, they are extroverted
people and desire the company of others. That is where I differ from
them, I would describe myself as an introvert. I don't mind the
company of others, if I like them, but I also don't wish for it, most
of the time. I am fine with being alone and just thinking. I prefer
the dark with music playing, that's where my peace is.
What's
the best gift you have given or received?
My
friend Kalyn, got me Bo Burnham's book Egghead for
my birthday this year because it's the only thing I really wanted
this year. She visited multiple bookstores to find it and I think
that's extremely sweet. The book itself is FANTASTIC, it's not only
filled with funny poems but there are profound and thought provoking
poems there too. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present.
